03:08:02 Devastator: "Hi, I cheated and I still got my ass kicked in an extended duel."
03:08:17 Devastator: although the cheater musta lagged pretty bad. The autoaim was based on old data.
03:47:53 ER has joined #einsteinianroulette
03:52:22 Devastator: not much to slash atm.
04:01:27 ER: if there were things to stab it wouldn't be much more interesting :p
04:01:39 ER: because "remarkably skilled" level stabbing
04:02:26 Devastator: but it's also less interesting if there's never things to stab.
04:02:51 ER: well, the interesting part is finding things to stab, and deciding whether or not to stab them
04:03:15 Devastator: but yeah, stabbing space seems like the most likely way out of here.
04:03:34 Devastator: also, I should show
NJW what happens if I take some of the gloves off that I had on during Coven. ;-p
04:03:53 Devastator: (if we're fighting planet-eating snakes, gonna make suzy stronger.)
04:08:15 ER: I do not think we're fighting it
04:10:03 Devastator: I don't see any reason we won't have to eventually, though.
04:10:06 Devastator: maybe not this one.

04:25:18 Devastator: 6 kills, one with an OT-38, and two with melee.
04:26:56 Devastator: having a good couple days. Got two kills yesterday with grenades inside people's bodies.
04:27:07 Devastator: ie, it blows up inside the guy's head.
04:27:10 MidJag: Fucking red dawning I see~
04:27:39 Devastator: one was just beautiful, one of the best moves I've done. I burned a half-cooked one to start over, and threw it around a doorway into the corner the guy was hiding in.
04:27:55 Devastator: it had like .25 seconds left on the timer, blew up inside the head, and I just mostly got back inside.
04:27:59 Devastator: no chance whatsoever.
04:28:23 Devastator: he missed what I thought was my best one ever, dammit.
04:28:26 Devastator: was watching, but missed it.
04:28:48 Devastator: got it through a window, through a house, and then through a far window, going kaboom just when it emerges, hitting the guy in cover.
04:29:52 Devastator: did start on your book too.
04:30:03 Devastator: took a bit to get into it, but it seems a bit better now.
04:30:09 Devastator: the mosters seem a bit OP.
04:30:42 Devastator: "Look, you got a boar spear into its neck, ripping its throat open, and it still kills six people.
04:35:53 Devastator: I'm in the middle of the next fight and he put a lance in the demon's brain, and it's still coming.
04:36:05 Devastator: I think that's going a little far, since I'm assuming the title character doesn't die here.
04:36:25 MidJag: Oh yeah, the monsters are pretty damn strong.
04:36:45 MidJag: I actually really like the monsters, they're pretty well done from just being weird and intresting.
04:36:51 Devastator: alos the wyvern's bigger than it was on the cover.
04:37:05 Devastator: couldn't have had a dozen guys fight that at once.
04:37:30 MidJag: And the writing style really does take some getting used to.
04:37:42 Devastator: They seem a little over-strong to my taste, but these might be particularly nasty ones, and there might be a few tricks against them.
04:37:51 MidJag: That's pretty much how it works.
04:38:16 Devastator: I mean, if there were fifty of these demons they could murder an entire small city, alone, without help.
04:38:27 Devastator: and fifty isn't that many.
04:38:50 MidJag: I won't spoil things, but the book does kinda explain how that works.
04:39:50 MidJag: I do have to respect the authors utter determination to never offer a modern unit of measure, no matter how convient it would be to the audience~
04:42:04 Devastator: Hmm? It's not that tricky. The remote castle/monastary they start in is about two hundred fifty miles from the capital.
04:42:49 Devastator: the inhabited valley around it is about seven by fifteen.
04:43:06 Devastator: Author's consistant with time, which is all you need.
04:43:47 Devastator: It's a bit less than a month for a caravan and uphil, so that's an estimate, but it shouldn't be too far off.
04:43:50 MidJag: I'm sorry I don't have an intutive grasp of what a league is
dev, as I didn't grow up 1570.~
04:44:06 Devastator: lemme know when he gets into chains.
04:44:32 Devastator: or some of the worse pre-metric French ones.
04:44:42 Devastator: those were awful beyond comprehension.
04:45:15 Devastator: If you ever want to know why they invented metric, pre-metric french units were why.
04:45:29 MidJag: I don't think I know of any pre metric french units
04:45:40 MidJag: ...why do you know of pre metric french units?
04:45:52 Devastator: I've heard of them.
04:47:00 Devastator: I think the only one that exists is the one for printing.
04:47:07 Devastator: points in printing were invented in France.
04:49:42 Devastator: The wiki page is fairly good.
04:49:55 Devastator: take that, and add something to it.
04:50:09 Devastator: basically all those units were different depending on what town you were in.
04:50:17 Devastator: because they were never standardized.
04:51:37 Devastator: It was absolute madness.
04:51:57 MidJag: and I thought imperial was bad
04:52:08 Devastator: in england, they at least standardized their mess!
04:52:14 Devastator: so it stayed the same from place to place!
04:52:40 MidJag: That's a good way of putting England, a very standardized mess~
04:52:43 Devastator: It makes it absolutely, 100% clear why they invented Metric.
04:52:54 Devastator: because it was completely intolerable.
04:53:51 MidJag: Hell I would have led a violent revolution just so I could figure out how far away my house was from my work~
04:54:10 Devastator: Middle ages, so probably not far. ;-p
04:54:16 Devastator: oh, one more thing.
04:54:28 Devastator: do note that seperate from all of that, they standardized one area of measure.
04:54:35 Devastator: guess what was standardized?
04:55:28 Devastator: ie, there was one thing in france that was consistant in size at that time.
04:56:31 Devastator: The one thing that could not be afforded to fuck around with. ;-p
04:58:25 Devastator: (do note it wasn't quite a bottle today, it got bumped when metric came in too, but it was standard across regions.)
04:59:14 MidJag: That's like when I guessed that during the fall of the soviet union a bottle of vodka was a monetary unit and was right.
04:59:27 MidJag: humans are very drunk monkeys.
04:59:54 Devastator: I think about the only society I know of that did not invent a local kind of booze were the various arctic tribes.
05:00:42 MidJag: Oh yeah did you know that biologically humans actually have exceptional alchol tolerance for our body weight?
05:01:50 MidJag: Yeah, I think there are a few animals that are more tolerant by body weight but not many.
05:02:04 MidJag: They aren't really sure why, but it is handy~
05:03:04 Devastator: rotting fruit, yum.
05:03:55 Devastator: how are crows on that scale?
05:04:14 Devastator: they eat rotting crabapples around here.
05:04:20 Devastator: and I've seen them get drunk on them.
05:04:50 MidJag: I don't think they're too high, but I don't really remeber
05:10:15 Devastator: glad you're liking that book,
MJ.
05:10:27 Devastator: it really is about two brothers having the worst day ever, right?
05:10:54 MidJag: I'm glad your likeing red night. And yes it really truelly is.
05:12:34 Devastator: yeah. Bad enough to require recalibration.
05:12:46 Devastator: ie, whatever you think the worst day possible is, move the chains.
05:13:05 MidJag: I think my favorite part is where when the second jesus get's stabbed and everyone just takes a second to proccess what just happend.
05:14:18 Devastator: "I mean, you've screwed up before! But this is the ribbon-winnder."
05:14:39 Devastator: did you get to the desert bandits yet?
05:14:52 MidJag: Not yet, I just got done with the giant vultures.
05:17:40 MidJag: Also I'm reframing which brother I'm more like, in terms of accidenly stabbing the second jesus, that one is probably more my style then my twins.
05:21:00 Devastator: so you're the wild one, eh?
05:21:18 MidJag: In terms of never shutting up even when I really should yes. Pretty much always
05:22:39 Devastator: also got the twisted mind?
05:23:18 MidJag: You've seen me guess things
dev. I'm very good at noticing utterlly worthless details.
05:25:28 Devastator: they both are good at that.
05:25:34 Devastator: I've got some of each.
05:27:34 MidJag: My little brother is pretty much if you put both of those charecters into a blender you'd end up with him.
05:27:50 Devastator: so he's the old man, eh?
05:28:56 MidJag: But yeah, my twin brother is a party boy when he wants to be, and an utter pragmatist at all other times.
05:29:29 Devastator: (playing more surviv.)
05:29:50 MidJag: Cheaters really do ruin things
05:33:24 MidJag: I do like how the book really highlights the downsides of having a continous revolution for like 50 years.
05:36:13 Devastator: there's also lots of stuff I can't see you ever doing that Mektu does.
05:36:21 Devastator: I mean, Mektu has no brains when he speaks.
05:36:24 Devastator: he speaks like a dog barks.
05:36:52 MidJag:
Dev, you've seen me stream, you've seen how I just babble like half the time..
05:37:10 MidJag: Actually ask
syv to describe a conversation with me sometime.
05:43:11 Devastator: that's normal for streaming, though.
05:43:16 Devastator: you're supposed to keep up the chatter.
05:43:18 Devastator: guess I didn't realize.
05:43:26 Devastator: also, that was a game for mines, yow.
05:43:51 Devastator: I got two mine kills, and got a cheater with some more mineage, which let me kill him. And saw another mine kill right in front of me.
05:43:51 MidJag: Nah just ask
syv what I'm like in a voice conversation.
05:44:17 Devastator: that other mine kill was amazing. Someone mined up an airdrop, and I didn't notice.
05:44:27 Devastator: but didn't get killed by the first one, and then someone else pushed me off.
05:44:45 Devastator: I then opened the drop from the other side, and was right next to a second mine that I didn't notice. The guy who pushed me off then ran right over it.
05:45:01 Devastator: I retreated since I was hurt, but damn, that was something.
05:45:19 Devastator: my two kills were sweet. Laid some mines in cover locations, someone walked out to fight me from that direction, and I pushed him onto my mine.
05:45:42 Devastator: the other mine kill was from that same bunch of mines, but someone I followed through a building was running towards the set. I engaged, he ran over a mine, kaboom.
05:46:02 Devastator: essentially I shoot from behind, mine blows up from in front, kaboom.
05:46:38 Devastator: only the first ojne was really deliberate.
05:46:47 Devastator: the cheater just went indoors with a scout and an 8x for some reason.
05:46:49 Devastator: stupid player, prolly.
05:47:18 Devastator: only me and the guy with the other mine kill got kills that game.
05:47:41 Devastator: well there were only 11 people.
05:48:46 Devastator: I did do more damage than the entire rest of the server.
05:49:34 Devastator: say that if I do it with 20 people.
05:55:06 MidJag: Well I should go to bed
